June OConnor , LCPC, LPC

June OConnor brings a seasoned, compassionate presence to therapy, shaped by both professional training and personal experience. With 25 years of clinical practice, she draws on challenges she has navigated herself to connect with clients who are facing low self-esteem, life shifts, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, and a wide range of other concerns. Her approach reflects the belief that many behaviors arise from positive intentions even when they no longer serve a person well, and she aims to help clients learn alternatives that meet those same needs more effectively.

June returned to school later in life after overcoming personal difficulties, and that journey informs the practical, nonjudgmental way she works. She values listening, offers thoughtful reflection, and is willing to challenge clients when it supports growth - always adapting techniques to each person s comfort and pace. Clients often note her steady commitment and willingness to teach skills that are often learned with experience.

She holds LCPC and LPC credentials, indicating professional licensing to provide clinical counseling services. June divides her time between Montana in the summer and Arizona for the rest of the year, and she is licensed to work with people in those two states only.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Counseling

June uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client s own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, validation, and supporting a person s self-discovery, often helping with self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional clarity.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and coping during stressful times. CBT emphasizes clear strategies and practice between sessions to build new habits.

For relationship and attachment concerns she may draw on emotionally-focused techniques that explore feelings and interaction patterns, which can be especially useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and grief around connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. June will help determine which methods best fit a client s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress unfolds.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allows clients to choose formats that match their comfort level and schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and try different ways of engaging as needs change.
